Product Description

Leek Musselburgh is a highly reliable mid-season leek that goes tender when cooked. Will provide thick crops from July-November and is incredibly hardy, which is why many gardeners opt for it in their allotments. May produce flowers if they bolt in their first year, appearing in shades of pale pinks and whites. Sow indoors from January to March or directly outdoors from March to April.

Ensure the location is nice and sunny. If you prefer an early crop sow mid-spring, roughly 6 weeks before the last expected frost in your area.
